Custom Corrugated Packaging = Frustration-Free Packaging

Custom Corrugated Packaging = Frustration Free Packaging

Today, you can order almost anything online. Clothes, groceries, electronics, toys, even mattresses! There has been an evolution from shopping at brick-and-mortar stores to ordering online with the click of a button. One thing that has been slower to evolve is the packaging in which that product is contained.

Have you ever ordered something online only to find it arrives in a nearly indestructible package of vacuum-sealed, thick plastic coating, with layers of plastic wrapping and stuffing?  Or even a box within a box within a box! It’s enough to send you over the edge and some in the industry have even dubbed this experience as ‘wrap rage’.

Ecommerce powerhouse Amazon first introduced its ‘frustration-free packaging’ initiative in 2008. The main objective was to create a positive packaging experience with the customer in mind. The publicly stated goals of Amazon’s FFP initiative of innovating product and packaging for eCommerce are to:

1. Differentiate and optimize the customer’s experience;

2. Minimize the environmental impact of packaging; and

3. Create packaging at the lowest delivered cost.

Amazon is set to enforce FFP by October 1st, 2019 which means, any vendors not complying with the new Amazon packaging requirements for their ASINs (products carrying an Amazon Standard Identification Number) will be penalized with a 1.99 dollar (US) chargeback per unit. 

Corrugated is the obvious choice in custom packaging to help avoid wrap rage and is going head to head with the plastic forcefield.

  • Corrugated boxes are great for customized packaging AND they are stronger than the average cardboard box.
  • Totally customizable to fit any product.
  • Cost-effective.
  • Recyclable material; Royal Containers is proud to be one of the corrugated converters using only 100% recycled containerboard in our products.
  • Lightweight and modular; ideal for shipping!
  • And perhaps most importantly….easy to open!
